You are quite right, R_Hatch. :D I, personally, find the P6 nodes to be absolutely revolutionary - so very many really beautiful effects are possible, and judicious use of the nodes can turn a nice texture map into an awesome one. But... alot of people are afraid of the material room (myself included until not long ago). Having Pose files allows a user to have the familiar way to a new mat pose, but allows me to sneak in my nifty tweaks. Thank you very much for the tips everyone! I'm surprised something like this hasn't been asked before. Addendum to your wishlist: A more efficient 'pose-handling' system than just the Pose folder! Having morph poses, mat poses, pose-poses etc etc mishmashed together is a pain in the patzeroni. Thanks guys!
